This is mostly a recycled list from last year. Though with one or two changes...
1.Ozzie Osbourne - don't know why, just have a feeling...
2. Robert Mugabe
3. Clive Dunn - he's old
4. Margaret Thatcher
5. Nelson Mandela
6. Jimmy Saville - old and wierd.
7. Michael J. Fox - this would be a shame, but, hey, c'est la game.
8. Stephen Hawking - although I wonder if he can truly just go on forever...
9. Marguerite Patten - I can't believe she's still around!
10. Fidel Castro
11. Amy Winehouse
12. Bruce Forsyth - he's fit and hale and hearty, but the dancing will get him in the end...
13. Michael Foot.
I took Claude Levi Strauss off my list. At 100 years old, I don't think he's worth having on the list!

I am of course shocked and appalled etc. etc.--mostly by the fact that I can't believe so many of my carefully chosen picks from last year still seem so healthy. So here is my Kiss of Life picks for 2009:
1. Patrick Swayze
2. Michael Jackson
3. Barack Obama
4. Robert Mugabe
5. Billy Graham
6. Robert Schuller
7. Margaret Thatcher
8. Pope Benedict XVI (because he looked HORRIBLE on the Christmas broadcast).
9. Amy Winehouse. Given my normal luck in this pool, this will be the inspiration she needs to enter rehab, find Jesus, and become the president of the Altar Guild.
10. Elizabeth Taylor
11. Edward Kennedy
12. Nancy Reagan
13. Stephen Hawking

No - it is George Henry Lascelles, floreat.
Both Lascelles and Har(e)wood are common names Kevin. I wouldn't worry too much about being related, except in the sense that we are all related to Adam. (And we know what happened to him!)

My list (in no particular order) is:

Morgan Tsvangirai
Wendy Richard
Eric Idle
George HW Bush
Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani
Nelson Mandela
Jason Plato (touring car driver)
Sylvestor Stallone
Brandon James Routh (The Superman curse strikes again)
Lord Carey of Clifton
George Michael
Some of these are old so may miss the New Year's Eve 2009 celebrations through natural cessation of the metabolic processes and some are politicians in parts of the world where not being elected is not the only way to lose office. The rest are just people who may get me some good points.

Bother. I saw in the new year by being ill in bed, and have thus failed to post my list punctually, too. What does the host say?

As someone who squeaked in pretty well under the wire ... MadGeo and Timothy live in the Pacific time zone, which is one of the last ones to "flip", so there was still a lot of day left where they were. I'll ask the hosts for a little slack on this one (even though I remembered to do mine at lunchtime).

FWIW ( generally less than nothing ) I would be happy to let them in, given that they have not gained any advantage by being a few hours late.

Thank you, O Mighty Kipper! Here's my list for the coming year, which is remarkably similar to my list for last year:
1. Bernard Lawrence Madoff, record-breaking fraudster and former NASDAQ chairman
2. Lt Gen Dr Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov, gun and vodka magnate, Hero of Socialist Labour and Knight of St Andrew
3. Margaret Hilda Thatcher, the Rt Hon the Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven LG, OM, PC, FRS
4. The Rt Revd and Hon Dr Ian R K Paisley
5. Robert Gabriel Mugabe KCB, President of Zimbabwe
6. Steven Paul Jobs, CEO of Apple, Inc.
7. Boris Abramovich Berezovsky aka Platon Elenin
8. Paul Francis Gadd, aka Gary Glitter
9. Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, Former President of Cuba
10. Fred Waldron Phelps Sr
11. Marie-Christine Anna Agnes Hedwig Ida Windsor née von Reibnitz, HRH Princess Michael of Kent
12. HRH Princess Alexandra, the Hon Lady Ogilvy DCVO
13. The Most Reverend Peter Jasper Akinola
Otto Habsburg gets a reprieve this year, as he's too old to be worth many points.

Thats really quite sad, especially as I have a 16YO who had a seizure over the holidays. I do feel for John.
My immediate thought was that Jett had seen his dads earlier movies, and died of embarrassment.

She had, apparently, recorded all the computer's 'lines' for this year's movie, so we will (probably) hear 'Processing' in her tones for the last time.
Wendy Richard is suffering from cancer which is, apparently, terminal. See here for a news report.
I managed to forget about this Death Pool this year, having been a regular for a while. However, I'm fairly certain that not a single person on my list died last year, and I believe only one the year before, so I'm not too sad to have stopped giving them the benefit of my 'protection'. Luckily for them, there are various people who have my recent picks on their list... ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

I'm tempted to allow anyone who entered last year's, who hasn't posted a new list, to carry their 2008 list into this game.
Anyone with a full 13 from 2008 can keep them, but those with a few spaces don't get to refill them.
What do you say ?
Basso - would that be easy to organise?

I don't want to dig through the two lists and compare names, but if a 2008 contestant posts here and asks to have their old list rolled forward, that's easily done.

Patience, grasshopper. Last year we got our first hit in January, but IIRC it was into March the year before.

Les was looking remarkably spry when I saw him play in New York in July. He may be 93 (or 94 by now?) but I bet nobody's going to get any points from him this year.
I hope not anyway, as I'd like to hear him one more time!
